How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened
Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

I saw this take on TikTok a few days ago and wanted to share it here. I had to truncate it because it's a bit longer than 3 minutes. Her central argument is the US govt has a problem in that decades of stochastic terrorism from gun culture has made us less scared of guns.

I am attached to the BBC, despite its faults, since it is almost the only media not owned by billionaires.
I think we should cling on to our public broadcaster and not leave the field totally in the hands of oligarchs.

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.
Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.
Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

The international community should condemn Trump’s board of peace and its members. There is no voice for the Palestinians on this board and no representatives.
It is a board of war criminals and genocide enablers. Vulture capitalists at their worst feeding off the carcasses of the dead and dying!

“Board of Peace” is pretty impressive doublespeak.
It is a “Board of #Genocide Profiteering & Exploitation”.
#Starmer deserves to rot in hell if he meddles in it (especially after recognising #Palestine)
I don’t have the words to describe just how vile it is.

Listening to the coverage of Caerphilly I’m struck by the failure of commentators to even approach the correct pronunciation of the Plaid Cymru leader’s name. Welsh names can be tricky and no one expects perfection but hardly trying is telling….1/3

So much in here that's so fascinating. But this, for me at least, really stood out:
"Nigel Farage, meanwhile, has stood – consistently, and often alone – for what’s needed. Ending mass migration. Cheap energy. Cutting waste and taxes and red tape."
Not a single solitary mention of #Brexit....
